the meaning of shape and form in higher dimensions
Hello Open,
In relation to some recent experiences I am pondering in how far visual representations of beings have meaning beyond the personal experience.
For example, when I feel the energies, what happens more often nowadays internally is that I experience the being; I have been walking outside and suddenly feeling ten metres tall. Recently in meditation my limbs were very long and thin. I have been an energy dragon with huge wings. This is accompanied by a visual at such moments of the being I experience and it represents a fixed image. Since there are images out there on the net of what certain beings would look like and in some cases these are the beings I see, it raised the question for me:
Can it be said that the shape and form are actually the beings in question, or would it be more accurate to say that if (and/or when) the being in question creates an appearance to be picked up by the 3D mind, it is actually methaphorical of the strength and weaknesses of the energy in question?
To me it feels like the latter, that higher dimensional beings don't actually have a shape as we intellectualize it but when we pick them up our brain translates it into a specific shape which is representative of the being in question, i.e a recognision, but as the brain compares it to the 3D familiarity, the shape and form is created only inside us. So then it would not actually be a bodily representation of the being, but rather of the aspects of the being in question in relation to the human form. For example, ten metres tall might represent an increased focus on general oversight combined with a limited desire to look at the details, where large spindly limbs might represent an increased reach but a limited desire for heavy interaction. This same question also raises both curiousity and understanding about how the internal functioning of our own 3D body represents the strengths and weaknesses of the energies we are embodying at any given time.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Are metaphysical beings (like dragons) actually real? 🐉

Hi LtJ,
You asked a fascinating question for sure...
Can it be said that the shape and form are actually the beings in question, or would it be more accurate to say that if (and/or when) the being in question creates an appearance to be picked up by the 3D mind, it is actually methaphorical of the strength and weaknesses of the energy in question?
I would say it's both, depending on what realm of experience you're in.
If you're in the Middle Realm of 5D/6D/7D, then there is definitely still form. And there are, what we in human form, would consider 'metaphysical' - so dragon-type forms for example. What you describe, sounds very real and familiar to me.
However, when we shift into the Higher Realm of 9D/10D/11D, then there's practically no form to be 'seen' at all. It's mainly formless consciousness. Although a being in these densities can manifest perceived form, in what becomes a dreamlike state.
One word of caution - I pick up a degree of Tall White energy in your field through the contemplations - there's a risk of over-intellectualising the experiences. It's something to work with, which I felt to share. Considering you may well have an Orion background, then toning frequently would be worthwhile to explore - how it helps strip out that layer of Intervention when it happens.
Well wishes

I try not to intellectualize but there is confusion surrounding contemplation and understanding. Lately I have this general feeling of slipping away, of not engaging with incoming energies in an aligned way. If you asked me how the flow is going, all I could say is: I don't know. There is a general lack of intuition, conviction and feeling. Meditation doesn't really seem to do anything anymore. Fear is coming back stronger. If I don't engage with it all, it feels like I've just wasted another day and if I do engage with it, it leads to a strong sense of 'needing to figure it out'. There is an increasing pressure surrounding the pingpong of creating what you fear and not creating from the soul. Anything I do seems to fall under either one of those categories.
I may have hit a new hurdle or maybe it's TW energies keeping me in check. The money situation isn't really helping out. Do I really wait until the last moment and trust an aligned life will present itself? This came up in a different post and I read your reaction but to compare these situations, your path involves teaching and training people for the shift; you had already started doing that when the money ran out and it is surely understandable for benevolence to act in support to sustain you through it. Also, I would say the soul exchange is a fundamental element in this as well.
All I have going is 'makes art' , 'really dislikes the synthetic world' and 'done some inner work'. Is that truly enough to say I am living from the soul? I am no closer to seeing an aligned lifestyle than a year ago,
Creating from the Flow? It must begin with YOU ⚡️

Hi LtJ,
This spiked in the field...

I get the sense that the Simulation is attaching, through the Tall Whites - what you describe is a key signature of theirs. I would say they're coming in on overthinking the process - rather than acting from being.
You then said...
Your path involves teaching and training people for the shift; you had already started doing that when the money ran out and it is surely understandable for benevolence to act in support to sustain you through it.
Yes, but how did this come about?
First, I passionately explored developing the art itself (which became Openhand), and was committing to it 24/7 even before I realised I had the capacity to teach it.
You have your art too. How are you developing that?
With all due love and respect, it feels to me, as if you're sitting back too much, and intellectualising what comes in the form of guidance. Rather than actively stepping into your passion, dedicating time and commitment to it, and then trusting that something will emerge from there. But even then, it's you that actively has to take the step.
When you're actively creating from your passion in this way, then you automatically build flows of energy - your Torus comes alive. That's when support and resources, miracles and magic, start to happen for you.
Take a step, aligned with the soul, with commitment to the path, and benevolence is bound to meet you in the space you open.
But it must begin with you.
Much love

Hi Love-the-journey,
I felt to reply to your post. Apologies - this weekend has been intense and I've only just found time and space for it.
I wanted to share an experience I had in a similar (and also different) situation.
Some background - 3 years ago I gave up my day job to focus on developing a facilitation business. At the beginning it felt good, going with the flow, connecting, and creating. However, over time I got more and more tense as nobody seemed interested in what I was offering. The main issue was that I was offering my services to the wrong people, but that's another topic and I wanted to focus on something else now.
Money became a big worry for me, which leaked into how I advertised my service. I found myself in mind-loops around it, over intellectualizing the process, though I did my share of inner work on it too. Eventually, I became so burnt out by the stress of it, so demoralised, that I stopped completely.
I knew there was a trust issue, feeling abandoned by the universe. Why couldn't I get resources for living my passion?
So I went on a vision quest for a few days, hiking, fasting and meditating in the forest. However, it seemed like every time I set a goal for myself it would get thwarted. I even got driven by a park ranger right back to where I started on the path. Then it dawned on me. THIS was the path, the learning experience. THIS was the universe looking after me. Not giving me what I thought I needed (resources) but rather the experience I needed to change my perspective and heal the karma.
I went back to work in the matrix. I initially saw it as a step back until I ended up by 'chance' in a group called Tao. Then I knew that this was indeed the path - all I had to do was orientate myself to what had to be learned and actualised in the situation. It turned out it was instrumental in learning to be in the matrix without orientating myself to it.
So I would say, there's no need to judge this or that as flow depending on how successful your life 'seems'. Meditate yes, but not as a way of 'fixing' anything, rather just bringing more awareness to it. When the mind quietens down then intuition comes back.
This statement of yours really jumped out for me: "Do I really wait until the last moment and trust an aligned life will present itself?" I would say, there's no blueprint to follow. Be careful of making 'waiting until the last moment' a strategy to gain something. Also, be careful of pre-conceived ideas of what an 'aligned life' might mean. In my experience they tend to block the flow rather than facilitate it.
Warm wishes,
Rich
thanks for the reflection :)

Hi Rich,
Your reply contains a lot which connects to what I've been meditating on for especially the past two days. Looking back over the past year, to summarize it very broadly, I have basically been expecting something to just show up out of the blue just because I was trusting and waiting. That's very bluntly, but to keep it concise that's what it comes down to. But when I look at the whole picture, there's a lot of other things that I hadn't taken into account.
Not having a job put me in a perfect position to integrate the incoming dragon energies without distraction which just 'happened' to be perfectly timed. I can't even imagine how I would have done that if I had to walk around in a corporate environment every day.
A year of freedom has shown me just how steadily and heavily repetitive daily activities numb the soul. In fact, to be completely honest, the past year has still been filled with a lot of repetitiveness which has shown me just how integrated that was and still is in my life. Even when I (intellectually) knew I was changing everything, I was (and am) still keeping 80-90% the way it was.
The panic resulting from almost being out of money has put me in a position to accept that this is how it is. I've had a good run for a year! Just doing what I liked. My art now fills my house but when I look at what I painted a year ago and what I'm working on now? There's an increase in skill that wouldn't have been possible if I had never given up my job.
Not many people have entered my life but a number has left, in all cases people that were not energetically aligned so basically, in that respect I should say things did get more aligned.
Instead of waiting for 'that break' where I would somehow be in the position to make it all happen, I am now looking at it as the year in which I worked on myself more than I ever did. I am no longer who I was a year ago and in that respect a goal has been achieved. I can volunteer at a local gallery to set up expositions. Saturday I found out there's an artist collective placing old cigarette vending machines around the country where you can get random pieces of small art and they are still looking for people to sign up. Only days before, I saw 5x5cm and 7x7cm canvasses at the local art store and bought some to see what I can do on such a small scale. Another art centre which I technically knew existed for years but had forgotten until last weekend. I looked them up and they are in the midst of reorganizing leading to about twice as much space as they have now. I have sent an email about the possibilities and am now waiting for a reply.
So by letting go, small things are showing up that may lead to nothing or who knows what. I am taking care not to fixate on these options and see them as things that need to work out. Any of these not working out may still lead to meeting someone who leads to meeting someone leading to meeting someone, or perhaps just meeting new people that uplift me in another way.
Indeed the most important lesson here is to let go of what an aligned life is. I had a preconceived idea and was thus judging myself (and the support) based on an inertia that only exists from that perspective.
Thank you for the reflection and well wishes :)

Hi Sander & Rich - sounds like you've arrived at an understanding that makes sense of the current situation.
However, my sense is that some compromise is being made with the flow - and if it is, that's entirely okay. Providing that is, we're in truth about it. That we're being entirely honest with ourselves.
Sander you said...
A year of freedom has shown me just how steadily and heavily repetitive daily activities numb the soul. In fact, to be completely honest, the past year has still been filled with a lot of repetitiveness which has shown me just how integrated that was and still is in my life. Even when I (intellectually) knew I was changing everything, I was (and am) still keeping 80-90% the way it was.
Wow, that is honesty. Fantastic. I honour that. But then how, may I ask, can you be at all expecting the flow to generate some kind of magic that leads you to a new way of living and being? If you're not really testing that for yourself 80-90% of the time?
The flow is a moment by moment commitment to break into whatever is resisting the path of the soul in any given moment.
I recall reaching this point, where there seemed to be 'no light at the end of the tunnel', and no apparent way of breaking out of a tremendously intractable situation. It was a lot more than just about having no money - apparently other people's lives, including two children, were riding on it too. I reached a place of complete, sobbing-surrender...
"I will not take one more step, one more breath, one more moment, unless it's coming from the soul, and I can clearly feel its signature."It's at this point (and I believe it to be the ultimate point of realignment), whereby I could feel the uprising, the upwelling of energy coming from the base, to join up with that coming down from the crown: Massive kundalini activation. The flow said to me: "Awesome!! Now, can you take another step? "Yes", was the answer. I took it. And kept on taking it.
These last three days, I've been in a foreign European city, where I don't know a word of the language, no one is even present enough to listen or help. I'm in a rental car in Italy, so they drive like maniacs. But somehow, if you stay connected in the kundalini flow, especially when things get tight, internal navigation will still work - that's the "Sat Nav" I'm relying upon (surrender, acceptance, trust).
But this all breaks down in fear, or repetitive patterns, or sleep walking. None of it could be possible.
I see that quite often, people have to make compromises if they're not completely all-in, 100%. And that's okay - the Tao is a "step" yes. But it's not a step to some other situation, to then embed into. It's a step that takes you to a different moment to navigate through, and to keep navigating through. It's okay to crystalise into another situation, for a time, but make sure you're being honest with what that's about.
Sander, you've had fear of travelling to Cae Mabon - which is easily laid out all the way. You'll even get picked up from the train station. This fear is exactly the reflection of the fear you're facing in your own inner journey. Let's be crystal clear about it, with no fudges or half-measures - this is why the flow is not creating magical connections at this time.
Although what I should say, is that Cae Mabon is the magical connection. Why? Because it's revealing what's getting in the way.
Our journey here is a tough one. Because the landscape is purposefully locked down exactly to prevent the flow of the soul. However, for those determined enough, the light will always break through. But you have to be prepared to sit in that moment of sobbing-breakdown, inviting the Universe to swallow you whole, rather than taking another step of compromise. In this moment, it is You opening up through the density. It's you that's creating a channel for the light. It flows through you, because you've created the space for it.
It's what I know as true love.

Hi Open,
I know it reflects the fear inside. The travelling itself is only part of this, everything involved here is new to me and in that it is a brilliant reflection. All of this involves relinquishing control. There's so much density of 'what-could-go-wrong' that it's making me angry, but it illuminates with great accuracy where the tension is and what makes it a 'problem' to me. I still want to stay safe and cozy in that-which-I-know.
Halfway during the planning I shortcircuit and lose track of it all, that's the best way I can explain it. The traveling arrangements I made so far do not connect (from what looks like the 'optimal' way) at three key points by such a small margin that it seems rediculous and dishonest. Two of these points are at the very beginning and very end of the trip back home. I go into panic mode and close down. I've had several email exchanges with Tilly regarding my travelling 'problems' and this night I realized this is not the way. They aren't problems, it's just me hanging on to what would fit in the shortest timeframe imaginable. It feels wrong and I cannot ask anyone to adapt to my automated wishes.
The answer was clear: cancel it all and find another way. There are cancellation fees but that's what I get for staying cosy and simplistic. I will be there and I will get back home and however that happens, the answer clearly is not to look for the 'optimal' connection like some sort of pathfinding computer program. Worst case scenario is having to stay somewhere else for one or two nights and not knowing what to do in between. Maybe try going with the flow?

Well done LtJ - you just made a life-changing decision, by opting to overcome your fear and come to Divinicus in Snowdonia.
I wonder if you realise just how amazing your gifts of perception have become in just the last 12 months? Whereby you're feeling all manner of different types of Dragon Energy? That's a rare gift.
What if your life could be carried by the Dragon, by overcoming fear - How could things transform?
When you come to Divinicus this May, you'll be coming to Snowdonia in Wales - it happens to be the land of Merlin and the Dragons. It's absolutely brimming with that energy!
And, having the flexibility to stay for a day or two extra, is sure to open up all manner of high alchemy.
Here's me breaking the Dragon's egg, after the Divinicus Sweat Lodge in 2023, at a very sacred mountain I can point you to called, Dinas Emrys...
It's a volcanic plug, and an area of high Merlin alchemy. Here's Tilly and me at a sacred waterfall in its foothills...
The flow will no doubt point you in the right direction!
Much love

Hi LtJ,
I recall receiving your first two emails expressing all the clunkiness of trying to make something fit that was so constrcted by the fears which were clearly influencing the journey arrangements. Then your third email was soooo different! You shared the breakthrough which sounded like you "threw everything in the bin and started again"! It worked! The constraints and fears were cast aside and a new route clicked into place beautifully. For me it was like feeling the dragon in you rising; flying through the air, and positively whooshing out of your email!
So much unfolds before and after retreats, not just "on" retreat, the process begins with the commitment to come! So anyone out there who is hesitating - here's the chance to find your dragon and let it loose!
Great job, Sander!
With love,
Tilly 🥰

Thanks for your question, Rich - it's an important one, and inspired me to write this article today...
What Does It Mean To Be 100% All-In With The Shift?
In answer to your other question: typical and subtle obstacles/ways emerging people stay tied to the old system?
I think a classic way, is when we've awakened to the soul, but haven't realised there are stages of awakening. Whereby, there are progressive stages of integration of the Soul, within the being, that invite deeper commitment of authentic expression - the Realignment, for example, which was shared in the movie 5GATEWAYS.
So in short, I think many come awake, but then just settle with the compromise that the Simulation presents. There's surrender, but not the full commitment yet to follow the soul as a constant conscious choice - whereby you're always seeking out, and actualising, the authentic expression.
Make sense?
Much love

Contending with the simulation in different Gateways
In reply to Typical & subtle ways emerging people stay tied to the system 👥 by Open
Comment
Thanks Open,
Yes, that makes sense. And thanks for writing the article too.
So, you wrote that being all in is primarily a Gateway 2 thing - key words that stand out for me are the 'constant conscious choice'.
But would you say that there are still aspects of the simulation to contend with after Gateway 2 as well? For example, ones which may be attached to inner child identities as in Gateway 3. Or, that certain shadow identities may play out in relation to the matrix. Or exploring how the simulation retards the flow?
It seems even after fully committing, the simulation can still creep in and interfere in some moments. All it takes is some blind spot in your field. It seems that being in denser environments like ones with a lot of electrosmog is on one hand a really great training ground for maintaining consciousness and flow, and on the other a real drain if you stay in them for too long. So there has to be an awareness of where the boundary is - for me it feels a bit like a 'numbing out' of my field.
Much love,
Rich
The "Imposter of the Soul" dynamic that the Simulation redirects
In reply to Contending with the simulation in different Gateways by Richard W
Comment
Hi Rich,
Yes, absolutely: First, the all-in commitment comes with the Gateway 2 realignment. However, the Simulation can influence well after that in daily life.
Remember the "Imposter of the Soul syndrome?" This is where our being attaches to a particular ray of consciousness and over amplifies it. Say, for example, the Ray 4 - over-ampliying the sense of diplomacy and compassion. This causes a dragging, echoing effect, in the field around your being. You still feel you're being authentic, because the impulses are coming from the soul. However, they cause 'baffles' in the flow of expression. This is where Tall White entities of the Simulation can impact and misdirect - because they read these energy amplifications. And so it's possible the being then gets misdirected into a matrix activity that doesn't fully serve.
This is even a Gateway 4 dynamic, and highly sophisticated.
If we're being 100% switched on, we'll feel the sense of inertia and slowing that this layer of Intervention creates. It's a bit like a white mist to travel through.
Well wishes

Need for reflection
In reply to What does it mean to be truly living the flow? by Open

Dear Open, and Rich and LtJ,
I am going to ask this query here.
So I have been offered a position in a rural village in India, close to where I am building a cottage. They are willing to change all the rules for me as my vision (of extending medical care to far flung areas using a combo of simple tech and training) seems to be gaining traction - even though I have NO Clue even how to start because the models there so far are for profit. And I envision something much better.
(The first thing my interviewer said - "your soul isn't satisfied, is it?")
I am looking forward to the change of tack in my current work and life situation. Inevitably, the fear gremlins come up - how will I afford it as single mom(it's a 50 percent pay cut) , I will be far away from community and the soft comfort of city life etc. What will become of the legal cases against me.
I am still going to jump.
I am also looking to be away from the city which needs a truck load of effort for me to be borderline conscious. And I suspect it will be the impetus to really be able to handle a lot more facilitation work which I have just started.
I think my question is my lack of ability to take the Universe's nudges in this environment. When I am in the desert or in Nature, I find it so much easier to ascertain signs and synchronicities. Here it feels like much of my energy is dissipated in protecting my senses from almost continuous onslaught of mechanistic sounds and experiences in the centre of the city.
I meditate quite regularly, have restarted fasting and have made creativity a practice, but I think (as Rich describes) I have to spend a significant amount of effort fighting the tendency to numb.
I would be happy for any reflections in this regard because I suspect I am creating rather linearly at this point.

Is the new possibility genuinely coming from an upwelling?
In reply to Need for reflection by iamdurga
Comment
Hi Megha,
It does indeed feel like a big step you're taking - and a courageous one. 🙏
I have to say that what has surprised me these last few years, is just how strong your empathic reading of the field has become, even though you've had the full-on job in the middle of the City. It's felt like you've been holding a massive energy there. And doing so successfully.
When you say, "I am still going to jump", I just felt to ask you to explore into that feeling - to be sure it's coming from you.
One question: Is what you're perceiving in the country a rosy idealistic situation? Or does it genuinely feel like it's coming from an upwelling of the soul?
To be clear, I'm not pointing one way or the other. If you were struggling to cope in the City, I think the answer would be clear. But you've seemed so accomplished at an energetic level there.
I would also say that currently, you're managing to travel a lot, whereby you have the capacity to influence in far flung places, at a planetary level. Have you considered the importance of continuing, and even enhancing, this work? Would the position in the country support that, or hinder it?
I felt to encourage a clear inquiry into the motivations.
Much love

Is there a value of engagements in the matrix?
In reply to Need for reflection by iamdurga
Comment
It seems to be a significant exploration here, with so many points of reflection that I find in sharings from Rich, Megha, Ltj and, of course, Open. I think I am working on that "Imposter of the Soul syndrome", and feel jumping in with the realisation I just had today. Maybe it could present some reflection/questions to others as well?
Megha, I hear your dilemma. Just to give some context for my situation. What landed to me today was through my engagement in the well-providing-resources job, which is an absolute part of the matrix. For many years I am wanting to withdraw from it, even though the conditions that I was able to “fight back” in this job could be categorised as a “dream job” (from the perspective of the simulation) with plenty of freedom for my being. However, it is crystal clear that it does not serve the soul. Yet not knowing what else I could do with all this huge pile of my skills and so called “talents”, I was patiently working my way through it, feeling clearly that this matrix job consumes an enormous amount of my energy, which I was “stealing” from my creative power of the soul. I was (and am) owning the situation. But I could not understand till today, why exactly it sucks my energy, even though I am consciously working to redirect it into the creative projects away from that job. The result of this internal work is my achievement in remaining engaged in the functions at that job only to provide my expertise, but the everyday tasks are handed over to my other coworkers there. And here is the main point, that I could not see so far my distortion of wanting them to do the work to the same level of quality that I was accomplishing. I wanted to protect my sweet colleagues from failure and mistakes associated with the risks of the responsibility that this position carries. While by now I withdrew a degree from this engagement and from the position of an observer suddenly realised, that by wanting to give the best of my knowledge to others I was uselessly “knocking” into that automated, conditioned consciousness of others, that are heavily following the program, me being a degree judgmental of it, not being able to understand “why the hell people cannot remember just simple things that I am readily presenting to them”. Because they are not present in what they are doing. And it is not my job to change that. That caused my energy to leak into nowhere, into the simulation.
Could the simulation be used as a “tool” that shows us the direction (or a map)? It’s where we can spot distortions that we are still carrying and, as Open writes, “where our being attaches to a particular ray of consciousness and over amplifies it.”
If I drop this job or this not-working-for-me relationship untimely, before I entirely heal myself within it, I will manifest it again and again. I have learned this in my previous relationships, by healing myself (not the other) to the point where the soul knows undoubtedly “that’s it! I have done everything possible, now I can leave”.
If I create the “wanted haven” for myself untimely, not coming from an upwelling of the soul, and function in that “bubble”, imagining I am in the flow of the soul, how would I know I am just living a lie? How would I find the blind spots of my consciousness, the distortions?
I do resonate with what Rich said that engaging with a denser environment is a really great training ground. Sure, we do not want to give energy to the simulation, but how to find where that boundary is? Open, is it a good thing to seek complete separation from the simulation or matrix if we are “not there yet” (I mean not in a flow of the soul)?
With love
